what is the thickest ceiling material that these lights will work with (the dimension from the flange to the spring pivot)?

I think is 3/4" but the spring is really strong and it will hold the light with no problem.....great lighting for the money

It's about 3/4 inch, but the springs are very strong and would probably hold just fine if the light was slipped into the end of a cylinder (pipe). I

Any six inch an should work. Lowes and Home depot carry different remodel types depending on depth of ceiling.

Sorry I just tried them on the post so I don't know about the light. I was working with the fit. Copper is a better choice for me and have not found that kind either. The case of this was too white for me.

The bulb is 7/16 of an inch thick. I have under cabinet lights from Home Depot (Hampton Bay brand) and they work perfectly.

Danielle, if your basement only has a 7 or 8 foot ceiling these lights would not work for you, they hang too low about 12 inches is as close as you can hang them. A flourescent 4 foot light would be a better choice,you can get a surface mount about anywhere. We love our lights and we have them on an outdoor patio and they hang about 12 foot high.

Dhaffirm,I purchased this light several months ago and am very happy with my purchase. Decent quality, quick delivery, and great price. After installation, it hangs 10.25" from the ceiling.

Its a considerably bigger than most lights .. I'd contact the manufacturer and ask

Thanks all for your input. I ended up going to OSH, matching the thread, then purchasing 1" bolts instead of 1.5" bolts that was supplied in the packaging. So new purchasers, save yourself a bunch of anxiety and buy yourself 1" #8 32 standard thread. I e-talked with the manufacturer, Progress Lighting. That was pretty useless...community, you were much more help! Thanks...

Standard ceiling opening for a light fixture. About 4" diameter. Simple to install.

The way I installed was I cut a very precise hole for the light and the spring mechanism is what holds it tight in the ceiling. I put mine in the wall and is holding tight still.Hope this helps.

I'm sure that 14 gauge would do fine, but I confess that I used 16 gauge. These are really nice lights; I like them. I think you will be very satisfied with them.

Yes, it should work with no issues pending ceiling height. The thread to screw it in, and the hex portion (1 1/16") are all the same regardless of which anode rod you choose. Magnesium is more efficient then aluminum rods.

I ended up returning this fixture because it was a little bigger and bulkier than what I wanted. Check out lumens.com. They have tons of selections and their customer support is probably the nicest and most helpful of any website I have ever dealt with.

I also have a hollow ceiling in my basement. These lights worked perfectly for me. I cut holes in the drywall, ran wiring, and inserted the lights in the holes. They clamp directly onto the drywall. Very nice.

I measured the light housing ( hole in ceiling) and it was 8 inches. There are also 10 inch types.

I don't have the light in front of me. It is at my vacation home. I wanted to clamp this on my Parsons bed steel frame which is 2" thick, but it wouldn't fit. Had to clamp it to the nightstand. Your table thickness needs to be less than 2" for it to work.

If you drill a 7/8" hole, I would think they would work just fine, but the hole would need to go completely thru the concrete for the wires attached to the back of each light.
